The influence of Anjou and Aragon, and the traces left by Bourbon,
Hapsburg and Napoleonic domination have made Naples a
treasure-trove of different styles and periods, rich in original
imperfections and extravagance that deserve to be discovered and
enjoyed. This guide is aimed at illustrating the structure and
unusual aspects of a city in constant artistic ferment, where
architecture ranges from ancient aristocratic palaces to the modern
futuristic skyscrapers of the business district, the Art Stations
of the Naples Metro, the small Art Nouveau houses in the poorer
areas in the historic centre; architecture that exists layer upon
layer, spreading outwards to the city boundaries. The twenty-year
period of Fascism was crucial for Neapolitan architecture: the city
was the object of widespread land drainage and reclamation work,
resulting in the conclusive isolation of the Angevin Keep, the
creation of the new Corsea in the area of the new foundations for
the San Giuseppe-Carita district, as well as a large number of
building projects in the city centre. The 'On the Road' series
offers readers a voyage of discovery showing how ancient historical
buildings like those of Naples, can cohabit alongside some of the
most innovative and contemporary architecture existing today.
